Big concern I have is the run game

WillSaints81 · 08-30-2015, 06:08 PM

I mean Ingram is good and it should(key word) be improved with Spiller as well. However, last year, Ingram virtually carried a lot because PT was banged up and Khiry was the only threat. Now with Spiller around, if saints try to split carries with all three backs, that is going to affect Ingram's rhythym. I think Khiry should be on the bench and used no more than 2 or 3 times or when a game is basically over. Three backs battling for carries is too much and from what I'm seeing with Brees so far, it does not look like we are going to be run-first at all.

Don't worry man, Spiller will be hurt all the time. It'll be all Ingram.

Ingram 1a. Robinson 1b. To get something meaningful from anyone is a bonus.

Spiller hasn't been hurt "all the time" ever.

I just want a good run game. Not too concerned who runs it - unless it's Drew.

Did I say that? No... I said he'll be hurt all the time. Merely my prediction.

The run game will only be good as Sean's commitment to it. While I think they want to commit to the run, I'm not sure a leopard can change his spots, and deep down, I think Sean likes to throw, throw, and throw some more.

Payton is going to play the hot hand. No matter who it be. I do buy into that theory about Ingram and him getting rythem but if he cant it will be because one of the other guys are doing just as good a job as he could.

I'm thinking the same as vtiger it's going to be pass first run second. But I also think if SP see's that the ground game is working he will take what he can get.

"All the time" is hardly a prediction. You clearly think this is a wasted signing so why not stand up and tell us just how many games he'll miss this season?
